2nd Time Around: Milk Glass

 

Welcome to 2nd Time Around. Please join us by linking a post that features something that is a 2nd Time Around to you…something from a garage sale, flea market, thrift store, estate sale, etc. Please link your post rather than your blog, and link back to this blog. Thank you for participating.

One of the things I’m finding while hunting for stuff for my booth is lots of milk glass. Most of it is priced very reasonably, and lots of people like to collect it. Like everything else I’m buying these days, I love it, just don’t have the space for it in my home!

Here are some milk glass pieces that I’ve bought recently:

Love this 2 piece hen dish!

This vase has been one of my most viewed items on Etsy. I don’t know why….it just is!

Love this big urn like vase! I think it would be perfect in a craft room or studio to use for storing supplies!

This little bowl is pretty popular too…I have bought two of these…one for my booth, and one for ETSY.

 

What about you? Do you like milk glass? Tell me about a favorite piece of yours!

2nd Time Around: Salt and Pepper Shakers

One of the things I’m finding at estate sales, etc. is salt and pepper shakers. I did a post a while back on my first antique mall booth, and showed some of the salt and pepper shakers I have bought.

I continue to look for them everywhere I go, because they usually don’t require much investment, and usually people like them! Those pictures from my booth can be viewed here. The booth is still going strong although it looks different. The china cabinet has been sold and lots of other stuff too! Maybe one day soon I will have pictures of the new booth to share.

My favorite salt and pepper shakers are these…I use them often. They were given to me by my daughter when she moved into her new home. These didn’t fit into her new decor…but they did mine! The pattern is Daisy Chain by Gail Pittman.

I couldn’t resist buying these little guys….they were made in Japan and so cute!

 

This retro pair of S and P shakers was sold this week on Etsy! I love the look and they are very functional too!

 

I have sold several sets of S and P shakers including two hugging geese, a set of pigs, and the hen with eggs in the mall link. I love to look for them, and wish I had enough space to collect them!

How about you? Do any of you collect Salt and Pepper shakers? Tell me about it!

2nd Time Around :Vintage Tins

One of the things I’m noticing more and enjoying buying since I’ve started my booths and Etsy shop is vintage tins. I recently purchased this one, and listed it on Etsy. It is from 1979 and is a reproduction of a Nabisco tin from 1914. It sold rather quickly, and the young lady told me that she and her future hubby were buying these to use at their wedding reception! I am always amazed at the creativity of brides and always love to see what they do differently….this should be so cute! Wish I could see pics of how it turns out.

This one was an estate find, and so pretty! It was the only thing I’ve listed on Etsy that sold the same day I listed it!

This one is slightly damaged with a dent in the lid. But people seem to like it anyway! It is desigened by the Daher company and was made in England.

So…it seems that everywhere I go I’m seeing these vintage tins. I always have to pick them up and check the bottoms to see if there is a date, or a marking of some kind.

Do any of you have any vintage tins? I would love to hear about them!
